We reduce emissions created by power production by adding renewable energy sources to the power supply mix. We also monitor emissions-related regulations at the provincial, federal, North American and international levels, to ensure we can comply with regulations now and in the future.
- Air Quality Management System
We operate within this system to ensure we adhere to industrial emission requirements.
- Carbon dioxide
This is the most prevalent greenhouse gas emission that we mitigate.
- Mercury
Mercury is an emission but we also collect it in other ways.
- Particulates
We use electrostatic precipitators to trap particulate matter.
- Sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides
If released into the atmosphere these oxides can lead to acid rain.
